Illustration Friday - Cake
Baking a cake is half the fun!!
My mother always made cakes from scratch, she still does as she refuses to believe cakes from a bakery are better than hers.
As kids, she always let us help and I used to enjoy it so much. When I was really young I used to create my own 'pretend' cakes with all sorts - mud, shampoo, sugar - whatever I could find.
I like the illo! Clean and full of sincere feelings!
ReplyDeleteGreat memory drawing...as well as a great challenge illustration!
